Description:
------------
GlobIterator fails to access files present in a valid directory when an open_basedir restriction is in effect. Even if the dir is inside the open_basedir restriction it fails.
Test script:
---------------
ini_set('open_basedir', __DIR__);
var_dump(glob(__DIR__.'/*.php'));
var_dump(iterator_to_array(new GlobIterator(__DIR__.'/*.php')));
Expected result:
----------------
Two lists of php files in the current dir.
Actual result:
--------------
The glob() call returns a list of files, then the GlobIterator explodes with:
UnexpectedValueException: GlobIterator::__construct(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(glob://C:\Users\seld/*.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (C:\Users\seld) in C:\Users\seld\test.php on line 6

History

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.
Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.
Tried your snippet on CLI, but there's no behaviour you describe. I see a proper listing in both
cases. There must be something else causing this.

I think I can reproduce this. It only happens when the GlobIterator is used
inside the destructor, and the script is run using Apache/Mod PHP (running via
CLI returns the correct results).
<?php
error_reporting(-1);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('open_basedir', __DIR__);
class Globber
{
public function __destruct()
{
var_dump(__DIR__);
var_dump(glob(__DIR__ . '/*.php'));
var_dump(iterator_to_array(new \GlobIterator(__DIR__
.'/*.php')));
}
}
$globber = new Globber;
?>
When running via Apache/Mod PHP an UnexpectedValueException is thrown.

On CLI I also get the same problem, Win7 x64 + PHP 5.5.0RC3 or 5.4.3.
With PHP 5.3.5 and 5.4.6 on linux it works fine though. Seems it might be windows specific. Although as Jamie says it can maybe be triggered in other ways than using windows.

I forgot to mention in my previous comment that I'm running PHP 5.4.14 on OSX
Lion.

Ok, inside destructor it reproducible for me on windows CLI, that's already
something one can debug :) But the original snippet still doesn't fail that way.
And trying DirectoryIterator at that play it works ... so most likely GlobIterator
is broken somehow.

Ok, the issue is much more complicated than it looks. This is a very tricky case
because the glob pattern check against the open_basedir value obviously makes no
sense. The implementation of the glob function is simply to
- expand the pattern
- iterate checking for basedir restriction on every item
- discard result and return false if one of them was not within basedir
What's going on in GlobIterator is to check the basedir against the pattern in
__construct, that obviously will never work properly. Also, glob extends
Filesystem iterator, only __construct() and count() methods are implemented.
Two solutions come in my mind:
- do the same teh glob() function does, do the work in construct and throw
exception if one of the paths isn't allowed (but that means doing the work
twice), so no go
- impement the necessary methods in GlobIterator, like current(), next(), etc.
.. this seems more plausible, however the situation where a value isn't within
basedir, what would for instance current() return? false? ...
Looks like a big behavior change anyway. Any ideas for a better fix?
Thanks
